lippia ~ 05/23/14 ~ Pinnacles

I really liked this flower and how it carpets the ground. I would totally have this in my garden, if I had a garden. It's native to CA and beyond, all along the lower half of the U.S. It also has an incredibly fun (yet hard to say really fast) common name of turkey tangle fogfruit. Seriously, I didn't make that up.

Never known this one's name ( either of them) and it would be great in a garden. I may have to see to that...common lippia aka .turkey tangle fogfruit, turkey tangle fogfruit... There I might remember it now.

"I have a sneaking impression that the mystery, wonder, and the urge of their pure beauty, are going to force me to picture and paint our moths and put them into a book for all the world to see and know."

welcome!

I make no claim to be an expert. Nature ID is my personal learning tool. I regularly update past entries as I discover more information.~what: I try to include common names, scientific names, and embedded links to more informative sites as I look up IDs.~when: Unlike typical blogs, most entries on Nature ID are backdated to the actual date of my photos, with few exceptions like wordless Wednesday.~where: CA locations are noted in the labels with an 'x', CA countiesare noted with a 'y', andnon-CA places are noted with a 'z'.

If you would like to use anything of mine presented on Nature ID, Flickr, or CalPhotos, please ask for prior permission through comments or gmail: Jo Kyung Ee. Your request would make my day!

Every picture posted on Nature ID was created by me or my husband Andy. As a matter of integrity for a blog about nature I encounter, I never post others' photos, diagrams, or videos given to me or grabbed from the internet, even if they are licensed for personal, non-commercial use.

Plus, I try to limit my writing to my own observations and well-known facts. I have a healthy dose of skepticism of anything found on the internet, especially when misinformation and plagiarism are common. I will always ask for permission to quote any private e-mails, e.g., expert IDs. In order to provide richness of content for my readers and to track my sources, I frequently embed links to more informative sites. If you prefer that I not link to your site, please let me know and I will promptly and cheerfully remove your links. Additionally, if you find a link does not work or requires a log-in, I'd appreciate if you let me know in the comment section of that particular post.For more information, check out Blackweb's Copyright 101 for Bloggers, Electronic Frontier Foundation's Bloggers' FAQ on Intellectual Property, and Google's Blogger Copyright Tips.
